Anti-sense-oriented RNA gene suppression agents in the form of a loop of anti-sense-oriented RNA is produced in cells of transgenic organisms, e.g. plants, by transcription from a recombinant DNA construct that comprises in 5′ to 3′ order a promoter element operably linked to more than one anti-sense-oriented DNA element and one or more complementary DNA elements.

The present invention is directed to plants that display an improved oil quantity phenotype or an improved meal quality phenotype due to altered expression of an HIO nucleic acid. The invention is further directed to methods of generating plants with an improved oil quantity phenotype or improved meal quality phenotype.

The present invention relates to extracted plant lipid, comprising fatty acids in an esterified form.

The present invention provides DNA vaccines for the treatment of allergies. The vaccines comprise the coding sequence for one or more allergenic epitopes, and preferably the full protein sequence, of the allergenic protein from which the epitope(s) is derived, fused inframe with the lumenal domain of the lysosomal associated membrane protein (LAMP) and the targeting sequence of LAMP. The vaccines allow for presentation of properly configured three dimensional epitopes for production of an immune response. The vaccines can be multivalent molecules, and/or can be provided as part of a multivalent vaccine containing two or more DNA constructs.

Compositions and methods for modulating male fertility in a plant are provided. Compositions comprise nucleotide sequences, and fragments and variants thereof, which modulate male fertility. Further provided are expression cassettes comprising the male fertility polynucleotides, or fragments or variants thereof, operably linked to a promoter, wherein expression of the polynucleotides modulates the male fertility of a plant. Various methods are provided wherein the level and/or activity of the sequences that influence male fertility is modulated in a plant or plant part. In certain embodiments, the plant is polyploid.
